    2. On each system:

      1. Delete all Batch Jobs with Program Step ‘/RTC/TM*’, ‘/RTC/SA*’ or ‘/RTC/R_LIB_LAT*’, if exists

      2. Delete Loader15 Event (see TM BAdI Configuration value ‘Event ID’), deactivate the BADIs /RTC/TM_BEFORE_EXP1 and /RTC/TM_AFTER_EXP_01 and LAT Event ‘/RTC/LIB_TRIGGER_LAT’, if exists

      3. On client ‘000’: Delete user ZRTC4_TM_ADM and ZRTC_SA_ADM, if exists

    3. On each TM-System:

      1. On each work client: Delete user ZRTC4_TM_ADM

    4. To delete the Repository objects import the ‘Uninstall’ Transport request into all systems (on client ‘000’) and additionally in TM-System (on each work client). Use Import Option 'Ignore Non-Permitted Table Class' before performing the import. Hint: If the import ends with return code 8, you can safely ignore that.

    5. Check on each system that there are no entries in DB Table ‘TADIR’ with OBJ_NAME ‘/RTC/*’ left over. Hint: If you use ABAP Suite on the considered system, you can safely ignore entries starting with OBJ_NAME ‘/RTC/AS*’, ‘/RTC/SV*’ and ‘/RTC/E_AS*’

    6. Check that the User Roles, starting with ‘/RTC/TM*’ and ‘/RTC/SA*’, are completely deleted on each system (on client ‘000’) and on TM-System (on each work client).
